Keeping Church Simple: End of the Road

End of the Road

Well, this is about it for Simple Church of Katy, and this blog.

The main reason Tricia and I started up here was to provide, and participate in, a home church in the Katy area. But despite much serious labor and prayer we haven’t seen much in the way of new faces, and we really needed fellowship with friends besides each other. So we were encouraged recently to find an existing group where we seem to fit. We will be meeting with them going forward. If you’re interested in knowing more about the group let me know.

We will still be hosting meetings at our house, just not on a weekly basis. And we will still be having our weekend outreaches. So please pray for us!

Oh, and if you have an interest in Christian theology please consider ordering a copy of my new book, Transcending Vision. Thanks!

Welcome

"Keeping Church Simple" is the blog for Simple Church of Katy (Texas). As a basic ("no frills") house church, we typically will meet in homes, but may occasionally gather in a restaurant or a park outdoors. We have no budgets, no worship team, no youth programs, and no paid staff. All we have is faith in Jesus Christ, and love for one another.

We encourage everyone among us (including women and young adults) to discover their gifts and exercise those gifts in the body wherever and whenever we assemble. We hold as our mission to preach the gospel of Christ and his kingdom, to teach and train disciples, to multiply and to plant new house churches. At the same time we hold as our responsibility to feed the flock of God, and to provide a safe haven for those in distress and facing hardship.

We believe the New Testament church to be a highly fluid, diverse, and constantly growing enterprise, built and led exclusively by Jesus Christ himself, of which we are but a small and singular expression. We believe, then, that God alone builds one church, and Jesus Christ is its only head. That said, we pray for the larger body of Christ and seek to cooperate, rather than compete, with other congregations.

We believe the twenty-first century church (ourselves included!) desperately needs to learn, or re-learn, the value of unceasing, heartfelt prayer, of genuine friendship borne of shared faith in the only Savior, of the inspired truth of Scripture, and of reverence for our God, the creator of heaven and earth.

For more information, including time and location of our next meeting, feel free to drop me a line at the email address below. Readers are also encouraged to look over the resources at House Church Central: http://www.hccentral.com/.

Thanks for your interest and may God bless you.
